BSD licensing would be much better. Ok, we have enough GPL-packages in
the pkgsrc tree, so this shouldn't make a problem.

In my first experiments some years ago, i wondered if tcpdumping to find
out the protocol is some kind of reverse engineering? I don't think so.
LAT is patented i think, but does Compaq care too much about this?

Hmm... i'll look a bit deeper in this when i find the time. For now the
baudrate trick works, i don't need to break my VAXen that often :)
